ADVICE TO THE UNDEREATER
Take your time
It takes time to eat proper meals and learn to enjoy them instead of swallowing your food as quickly as possible. A relaxed atmosphere or pleasant surroundings may help to prolong your mealtime so you can eat more without feeling stuffed. As a rule, people eat more at meals where the food is all placed on the table and they help themselves, than they do when food is passed to them formally. It takes thought and attention for you to find out what is best for you.
Substitute high calorie for low calorie foods
Concentrate on fattening foods such as cream soups, mayonnaise, cereals with heavy cream, sauces made with butter or margarine or thickened with flour, and desserts to which hard sauce or whipped cream has been added. Substitute high calorie vegetables such as peas, potatoes, and lima beans for bulky, low calorie ones until your stomach has grown accustomed to handling larger quantities.
Add high calorie foods
Get in the habit of putting a little more butter or margarine on your bread; add an extra pat of butter—which most restaurants will provide—to your vegetables and soups. Add cream to your milk.
Eat more
You can do it. Another piece of bread and butter or a second helping soon becomes a matter of habit.
Snacks
You can learn to enjoy snacks, especially before bedtime. Rich milk or cocoa or an eggnog with some biscuits can add plenty of calories and may even make you sleep better. Try it. If insomnia or restless sleep results, you may be able to add snacks between meals.
Sweets
These present a ticklish problem. They may satiate the hunger for more valuable foods. If they do not interfere with your appetite and do help you to gain weight, be sure to have frequent dental check-ups.
Smoking
There is no doubt that smoking tends to keep people from eating and interferes with the enjoyment of good food. As I have mentioned, heavy smoking is such a health hazard in so many ways that your weight problem is one more good reason for cutting down.
